Derrick Favors, PF/C, Utah Jazz

DraftKings Salary: $5,600

Derrick Favors was chalk on Monday, but his 25 DraftKings points in 27 minutes left much to be desired after watching him go for 46 DraftKings points in 36 minutes the game before. Despite this "disappointment," Favors' price was raised a full $1,000, so hopefully some will stay away from him in this spot.

It wasn't realisitic to expect him to replicate his monster performance against the Brooklyn Nets, but that doesn't mean his performance against the Minnesota Timberwolves is his baseline, either. The final score displays a fairly competitive contest, but it is worth noting that the Utah Jazz found themselves trailing by 23 points after three quarters against Minnesota, which was a big reason for Favors' drop in playing time (he played just two minutes in the fourth quarter).

Assuming he sees 30-plus minutes in a matchup against the New York Knicks that is expected to be much more competitive, Favors is a strong bet to reach value at this price tag since he needs just 28 DraftKings points to do so. That seems quite attainable in an individual matchup against Enes Kanter, who ranked 66th among 69 qualified centers in defensive real plus-minus last season.
